I've heard that about WD40 also, I use the wet chain lube that comes in a little black and green bottle - can't remember the make. It gets everywhere and makes a mess - but, I find it easy to wash off with a good bucket of hot soapy water and a sponge. I just clean it down on a weekend in 5-10 mins and job done.

On the full sus however, I use the wax etc, as then I am not forever cleaning the MTB too much. When the salt goes away, I will probably then use wax on my commuter too - that way I won't have to clean every weekend but every so often in stead.
